Researchers at the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center utilize data gathered by satellite sensors to track seasonal changes in vegetation. The three satellite sensors that provide the raw data for the RSP program are the Advanced Very High-Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) polar-orbiting satellites and the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) carried aboard National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Terra and Aqua satellites and Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS). The satellite data are initially transformed into Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) values. AVHRR NDVI, eMODIS NDVI, and eVIIRS NDVI provide the foundation for RSP. Time-series NDVI can be summarized and analyzed to produce nine key phenological indicators that represent a complete growing season.
